Reviews
"This is a rich world, with relatable characters and incredible visuals." * New York Times *
"While the book works as a poignant love story and an indictment of prejudice, trippy visuals and clever dialog make this Romeo and Juliet space opera a lot of fun as well." * Library Journal *
"Vaughan's witty dialogue is laced with universal commonalities-the sharp fingernails of babies, burping techniques, love-that ground the alien nature of the characters and heighten the sense that the war between planet and moon and the hatred between enemies is tragically pointless. Staples's character designs are fantastic-even the weirdest aliens reveal human emotion-and her two-page spreads, whether of battle or of tree-grown rocket ships, are glorious. This is a completely addictive, human story that will leave readers desperately awaiting the next volume." * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *
"An unwieldy, profane, and glorious ode to compassion and equality... a sprawling tale that shuffles the beats of numerous genres, including pulp romance, road trip, Western, dark comedy, and political thriller. And much of Saga focuses less on prejudice and more on smaller-scale pains that can be devastating in their own right." * The Atlantic *
"The kind of comic that you get when truly talented superstar creators are given the freedom to produce their dream comic...Saga is Heavy Metal eclecticism synthesized into a singular, sprawling narrative a la Cerberus or The Walking Dead-a vast sandbox built for neverending castle-building." * Entertainment Weekly *
